DE9 MOINES, Dec. 21. (Special Tele

position of chancellor of tho law depart
ment of tho University of Iowa, but has
not decided whether he will accept. A
committeo of the regents arrived In tho
city tonight nnd ho will not decide until
ho has conferred with them. This prac
tically assures that he will accept tho
place, as lt Is hcllovcd all legal obstacles
to hlB acceptance will be removed. Ho
will succeed Eralln McClaiu, who hns Just
been elected supremo Judge. The board
of regents has fixed Judgo Dcemcr's snlnry
nt $4,B00 per year. It he accepts tho plnco
it will make another vacancy on the su

Tho nctlvo candidates for tho plnco arc.
Judgo T. M. Fco of Ccntcrvllle, Judgo h.
C. Blanchard of Oskaloosa nnd Judgo H.
M. Towner of Mount Ayr. It Is believed
thnt tho strongest political Influences aro
back of Judgo Fee. All three of tho can
didates are recognized as competent.
Judgo Decmer had been informally ap
proached on tho matter nnd had been re
pcatcdly urged by friends of the univer
sity to accept. Hcrctoforo tho salary hns
been much less than tho salary of a Judgo
of tho supremo court. Judgo Decmer
would not consider tho offer unless tho
salary was made as good as that of a
Judge. Ho was Inclined to accept If tho
salary could be made right.
Judgo Dcemer went on tho district bench
nt Bed Onk nnd was early transferred to
tho Bupromo bench. He Is regarded ns
ono of tho strongest and most nctlvo of
tho members of that body. Tho occnslon
for offering him tho chancellorship of the
State university Is that Emlln MrClaln,
tho present chancellor, will go on tho su
premo bench the first of the year.
For (iooil Work In NcbrnsUu.
During tho recent political campaign ono
of tho Iowa speakers much used In Ne
braska to help In tho election of tho re
publican ticket was Hon. O. L. Dobson,
present secretary of state, whoso term ex
pires early next month. Tho information
which came buck to Iowa from all sources
In regard to tho meetings held by Mr.
Dobson was very flattering to him, and It
Is known that ho was regarded thero as
horo ns a lino political speaker. Today a
rumor got abroad thnt his recent visit to
Washington wns Incidentally with a view
to considering nn offer of a flno position
In tho dlplomntlc or consular service at
tho disposal of tho president. Tho story
goes that he woh Introduced lo President
McKlnley by Congressman Mercer nnd
highly complimented on his work In re
deeming Nebraska and that tho president
Is considering a reward for his services.
Mr. Dobson illsclaimK any Intention ot
seeking any particular position or any ln
tontlon of remaining In public life, and
today said that ho expects to bo re-elected
president of tho life insurances company ot
which ho Is at tho head. But the Iowa
delegation In congress Is favorablo to giv
ing Mr. Dobson something good If ho dc
BlrcB It, nnd this with tho Influence of
somo ot tho Ncbrnsknns may chango Mr.
Dobson's plans ot attending strictly to
private business.
Tortured Wo inn n Wnntn I'ny.
A civil suit on trial beforo a Jury In tho
Madison county court this week Involves
a question ot damages for ono of tho most
brutal outrages over committed by Iowa
men. The suit is thnt of Mrs. Lapolo for
$15,000 against P. J. Cunnlnghnm, George
Potter, James McNamara, Daniel Murphy,
James Stevenson, George W. Taylor, G. B,
Uollnotto and others. Tho plaintiff 1b n
woman 50 years of old, who lived alone
In tho country with her daughter, n young
girl. Omong her acquaintances was one
Fred Daly, who Inst May held up and
robbed Johu W. Cunnlnghum ns the latter
was returning to his farm homo from Win
torsct. Daly struck his victim over tho
head with a club, knocking him senseless.
Ho rifled tho pockets ot the old man and
escaped. Ho was arrested afterwards In Des
Moines with n quantity of tho stolen plunder
and taken to the Madison county Jail.
Shortly afterwards Daly nnd n nephew of
Mrs. Lapolo escaped from tho Jail. It was
generally believed that Mrs. Lapole knew
where tho men were and, acting upon this
belief, n mob, headed by P. J. Cunnlnghnm,
a son of tho man who wns robbed, went
ono night in April to tho homo of Mrs,
Lapolo for tho purposo ot compelling her
to tell of the whereabouts of tho fugitives
It Is for tho cruelty Inflicted upon Mrs,
lapolo on this occasion that sho Is now
suing tho members of tho mob for dam
agos In tho sum of $15,000.
DniKKCil from I led mill Tortured.
It Is nlleged that Cunningham nnd his
associates dragged Mis Lapole from her
bed and mado threats against her llfo If
Bho did not reveal tho hiding plnco of Daly;
that they dragged her out Into tho yard
and hanged her to a treo so that only her
toes touched tho cround; that they left
her In that position until sho wns nearly
dead, and that tho performance was re
peated sovernl times; that nftor sho had
repentedly protested that sho know noth
ing of tho men, tho mob placed a guard
around her house and kept it there day
and night for ten days, allowing no ono
